I looked into the oxalate issue when I was putting a ton of spinach in my smoothies and it turns out its only a problem if you're actually predisposed to kidney stones. And the concerns with oxalates aren't present to the same degree in other green leafy veg.

Its the "everything in moderation" and "know your own body" rules

The best course of action for health, then, is to opt out of the green smoothie fad.

If you enjoy green leafy vegetables, enjoy them in moderation in salads (not huge ones every single day) or even better, cook them thoroughly and carefully drain and discard all the cooking water – never use it in soups and sauces! Be sure to serve cooked leafy greens with butter for maximum absorption of minerals.

That blogger is anti-vaccination, anti-soy, and pro "real food" (Which is a meaningless term). That really would make me skip her blog all together. Vaccination information is not "propaganda." Neither soy nor sugar will kill you and raw milk is not a miracle food.

I also didn't see an explicit statement of their qualifications to be spouting off about any of that.

Oops, sorry folks! It popped up on my FB feed, I didn't even notice it was from way back in May. I just couldn't believe the headline, and - well - I just learned a lot about the crazy lady and oxalates!

You can write this crepe about anything. Bananas can totally kill you! (if you are my dad)

If you got hit in the head really hard with a banana it would hurt. Bananas are dangerous things.

Green smoothies are too freaky to even speak of. I like my veggies to crunch.

A smart, pretty lady once suggested that kale belonged on a plate, not in a beverage. She was spot on.
